What the Team is Known For
Sidley Austin is frequently sought out by international clients for its global sector expertise, with the firm's focus built around strong relationships with clients in financial service, energy, life sciences and biotechnology. While the firm's US base remains the key hub of its global operations, Sidley Austin also attracts ample praise for its ability to join up experts across its platform throughout Europe and Asia, with offices in London, Singapore and China among others also playing a vital role in the firm's international appeal. The firm has an impressive ability to handle global transactions, disputes and investigations, enabling it to provide a comprehensive service on sophisticated matters for clients in its key industry groups.
With strong corporate teams across the USA, the firm's international M&A work often dovetails with the firm's excellent investment fund and financial services groups, regularly acting for private equity houses, asset managers and financial service providers as well as public companies on cross-border matters. The firm's US platform offers a full suite of corporate services and the lawyers regularly project-manage transatlantic and cross-border deals for global clients. US clients and investors into the US market benefit from the firm's global presence across key money centres, and the strength of its M&A teams in China and Singapore is often noted, as well as its solid experience in Latin American transactions.
